Peasant food. Pollo e Patate. A bed of potatoes and onions tossed in olive oil and salt and pepper with chicken on top all roasted until the chicken juices cook the potatoes.

I don’t make this for the chicken. I make it for the potatoes with all that chicken juice tastiness. Though the crispy chicken skin is pretty good too.

I grew up on a variant of this where it’s served on a bed of spaghetti and peas are added to the potatoes in the last few minutes. A double starch feast.

Cost: $1.87 per person.
